I’ve been on my period for three weeks, normal?
Hi! I recently started taking contraceptives due to my hormone imbalance. The doctor had prescribed it to me, and was recommended by pharmacists after I consulted about my issues with a regular loss of hair, pimples covering my entire body, and intense, debilitating period pain. My period was never really all too regular, it lasts 5 days or a week, but now Ive had my cycle ever since I first started taking the pills. I’ve experienced some period pains here and there, similarly to the horrible pain I’d only experience the first day, normally, but only for one day. It’s also quite heavy on some days, and clotty.
I wanted to ask other women if they also take contraceptive pills because of hormone issues, and ones I’d described earlier? I know I’m taking them right, but it all feels very unusual.
